 intelligently designed product Nov 12, 2009
Even though I wasn't looking for big number dialing, this phone had everything else I was looking for in a desk phone (and at a great price) and now I'm enjoying the ease of dialing with those large buttons! Even better and unexpected is the ability to dial the number without picking up the receiver or using speakerphone, thus leaving one hand free to point at the printed number source! I also love the back-lit display and find the viewing angle to be excellent. Obviously considerable attention was given to designing a user-friendly product. And the absence of batteries is a real blessing!
I haven't had any trouble with the receiver placement since the first time when I realized that I have to pick-up with a slight motion up/away & replace with a similar downward motion because of the small "hook" for wall use (perhaps this could be made retractable for desk use?); the shape of the receiver is very comfortable in my hand. The "twittering" hi or lo ring tone is a pleasure after my old unadjustable one that sent me jumping right out of my seat! The hi/lo/off ring control is, like most, placed on the rear and therefore out of sight. I turn mine off every night so it would be easier if the switch was located on the front with other controls.
Speed dialing number storage is not of the most convenient design, but it works fine, though you have to scroll through all 13 listings to find the one you want; I prefer the visable index design but you can't have everything! The only reason I knocked off one star for appearance is because that particular shade of blue accent color still offends my sensibilies each time I see it!
Otherwise, highly recommended.
 it suits our needs Jun 07, 2009
PROS: We bought this to replace an ancient desk phone that finally died...wanted a corded phone with Caller ID and Call Waiting ID capabilities.
CONS: Voices sound a bit "hollow" even when you have it on lowest volume level. And we wish the it had an "in use" light so you wouldn't accidently pick up the receiver while someone else is already on the phone in another room (our two much older phone sets have this feature). Didn't need the Big Buttons (they are huge) but this phone set came the closest to having what we wanted plus it's by a well known company.

 Handset issue Apr 30, 2009
I bought this knowing there was an issue with the handset not sitting properly from reading the prior reviews. I was hoping it was due to user error but in fact it is due to poor design. You really have to play close attention to how you replace the handset or it will not hang up. Unfortunately the volume is not very loud on the handset so you can not rely on the "off the hook" sound to warn you either. I would only recommend this phone to someone who will not be using it all the time.
GE Desktop Phone Apr 30, 2009
I do a lot of taping and transcribing from my telephone, and the one I had was barely audible and had a lot of static.
I purchased this phone in the hopes that it would work better for me. It did. It has large numbers and lighted dial, which make it much easier to punch the numbers and see who is calling. The sound is strong and clear.
And the shipping to me was phenomenally fast. Great product. Great seller!
